Right, because we all know that straight white people can't be discriminated against. 😛
Not true, but white people have been using this arguement for decades. We don't wan't gays or interracial couples or latinos or blacks or the irish living in our town becuase it will destroy the fabric of our society.
As I said, its a stupid article and not worth publishing. But people, especially those who fit in the category of majority need to give those in the minority some breathing room. Equality is not achieved by leaving a broken system alone. It may require a little bit of effort.

I think the gays need to shut up, and I don't think the city should shell out a dime to preserve the neighborhood's gay culture.
I don't think the gays need to shut up. I think the gays need to be louder. I think they need to scream from a soapbox.
But not about this.
I know a lot of straight people who live in the Castro. Why is that? Because it's the safest district in the San Francisco metro area. I've never heard anyone talk about "keeping the straights out". That's not to say that some gay people don't want to keep the Castro as a safe haven for homosexuals to operate on their own terms. But those terms are not what most people on this forum will think. It isn't keeping them out because we like to dress in leather chaps with no ass in them or because we want to know when we see a person in a dress they're really a man. It's because they would like to know they can go to push their kids in strollers without having bigots verbally abuse them.
And I can assure you, the people speaking most loudly is the "straights" who've moved into the Castro and prefer that they and their kids not have to see two men holding hands or kissing each other across a street side cafe table. If they don't like it, they can move back to the tenderloin where crack whores hide dope in their vaginas and innocent people get their heads smashed open with a broken beer bottle.
The most interesting thing about SF is the distinct districts. If the city wants to drop some money, don't worry about the gays in the Castro or the straights from Noe Hill...worry about the trash in the tender that have turned that district into an open sewer.

what do gays,ir couples, latinos, blacks and irish people do to destroy the fabric of some one's community?
i can't see why a person who is gay would want to live among people who are raising kids and are married...i don't get it, seems like people who are into "family" lifestyle would want to live among those with similar interests, that's why most families live close together.

Are you defending segregation on accident or are you just "old school"?

I think Feceman is under the assumption that while we Liberals will be angered over the thought of Conservative Christians not welcoming Homosexual residents into thier community, we wouldn't care if Homosexuals didn't welcome Heterosexuals into their's.I think it was a desparate attempt to get us to see the hypocrisy of this article, so he switched the text around so we can have a nostalgic reminder of the hypocrisy that you and I detest.
He didn't have to do that....I see the hypocristy of the two of Castro, and I do not condone it.
*Note to Feceman*- just because I am bisexual does not mean I will defend another bisexual/homosexual if I feel they did something wrong.

That was idiotic though. I am sure most people read the quotes as what he saw as important and commented on that without further reading that long ass text (I did). So basically we thought it was about gays not being too welcome in a community. Now the thing is if he had posted the correct quotes there would have been a similar reaction...at least on my part. So this whole set up fails immensely.I found that rather annoying actually.

Its another pathetic attempt by the majority to misconstrue strengthening a minority as anti-equality or reverse discrimination.

Oh dear God. Oh the humanity.

Wait, so San Fransisco will no longer be a breeding ground for gays and hippies?Seriously, that city died a long time ago if you ask me
San Francisco will always be a breeding ground for gays and hippies. And now that Nacey Pelosi is the speaker of the house, we're going to be coming for your cities too. So far, outside San Francisco, we've just been living under rocks and behind dumpsters. But, now we're coming for your children, and we have the full backing of the government to boot.
